Food Trucks 4 Thought Episode 1

We hope you enjoy the kickoff episode to our new series, Food Trucks 4 Thought! In this series, we will be answering frequently asked questions and informing the public on what they need to consider when getting into the food truck industry.

A food truck is a fully self-sufficient mobile commercial kitchen. It has everything you need to operate a mobile business, and pass health and fire codes. Some of the things that can be found in a food truck are propane lines, electrical lines, water pump, water heater, fresh and waste water tanks, commercial exhaust system, generator, and of course your cooking and refrigeration equipment.

What should I look to spend on starting a food truck business?

Look to spend $120,000 to $200,000 on starting a food truck business. The full build out of the truck can vary between $80,000 to $180,000. Then, you will want to have some working and startup capital for things like insurance, labor costs, inventory, cooking supplies, and much more.

What should I expect to earn when running a food truck?

The answer to this question will vary greatly depending on the location and the work ethic of the owner. If the food truck is being ran 40 to 50 hours per week, then having an annual gross revenue in the range of $200,000 to $500,000 would be feasible.
